Description

柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物及柔版印刷原版Photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing and flexographic printing original

本發明係關於一種用於柔版印刷原版或印刷版之感光層之柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物及使用該柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之柔版印刷原版。The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing of a photosensitive layer for a flexographic printing original or a printing plate, and a flexographic printing original plate using the photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing.

柔版印刷為凸版印刷之一種,由於印刷版使用橡膠或合成樹脂等柔軟之材質,因此具有可應用於各種被印刷體之優點。 關於柔版印刷中所使用之印刷版,自先前以來有使用負像膜進行製版之方法、及將於電腦上經處理之資訊直接描繪成印刷版狀而製作凸紋之電腦製版技術(以下稱為CTP(Computer To Plate,電腦直接製版)技術),近年來,CTP技術正成為主流。 關於柔版印刷版之原版,於使用負像膜之情形時與使用CTP技術之情形時版構成不同。使用負像膜之情形與使用CTP技術之情形兩者均於在PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate,聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯)樹脂等之基板上具備包含感光性樹脂組合物之感光層之方面共通,但於使用負像膜之情形時與使用CTP技術之情形時,於感光層上所構成者不同。首先,於使用負像膜之情形時,因感光層之黏著性而存在用以保護負像膜之透明圖像載體層,於使用前使負像膜密接於透明圖像載體層上,自負像膜之上向感光層照射紫外線,去除未硬化部分,藉此形成凸紋像。另一方面,於使用CTP技術之情形時,於感光層之上積層紅外線剝蝕層,直接利用雷射等對該紅外線剝蝕層進行描繪後,對感光層照射紫外線,去除未硬化部分,藉此形成凸紋像。 最近,存在藉由利用將水作為主成分之顯影液進行該未硬化部分之去除(進行水顯影)而形成凸紋像之情形。 且說,通常於可進行水系顯影之柔版印刷用感光性樹脂印刷原版中,於用以維持尺寸精度之支持體上形成有如下感光層,其包含將親水性共聚物、彈性體等疏水性樹脂、聚合性不飽和單體、及光聚合起始劑等混合而成之感光性樹脂組合物。 關於此種感光層中所使用之感光性樹脂組合物,為了忠實地獲得需要之圖像,較佳為組合物中之各成分細密且均勻地分散,又,為了縮短製版時間,較佳為顯影速度較快。進而,就製版後必須耐受水性油墨之使用、利用水將所附著之油墨沖去之方面而言,較佳為硬化後之水膨潤率較低,又,當然耐印性宜較高。 作為可進行水顯影之感光性樹脂組合物,例如專利文獻1中揭示有如下感光性樹脂組合物,其含有水分散乳膠、光聚合性單體、橡膠、及光聚合起始劑。 又,專利文獻2中揭示有如下感光性樹脂組合物,其進而含有磺酸系界面活性劑,且橡膠形成尺寸為10 μm以下之分散相。 進而,專利文獻3中揭示有如下感光性樹脂組合物,其中,水分散乳膠係藉由使用含有不飽和雙鍵之反應性乳化劑之乳化聚合而合成並進行內部交聯而成者。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] [專利文獻1]日本專利第4211141號公報 [專利文獻2]日本專利第5325823號公報 [專利文獻3]日本專利第4627871號公報Flexographic printing is one type of relief printing. Since the printing plate uses a soft material such as rubber or synthetic resin, it has the advantage that it can be applied to various printed bodies. Regarding the printing plate used in flexographic printing, a method of making a plate using a negative film has been used, and a computer plate making technique for directly forming a printed plate by processing information on a computer to produce a relief pattern (hereinafter referred to as a printing plate) For CTP (Computer To Plate) technology, CTP technology is becoming mainstream in recent years. Regarding the original version of the flexographic printing plate, the case of using the negative film is different from the case of using the CTP technology. Both the case of using a negative film and the case of using a CTP technology are common to a photosensitive layer containing a photosensitive resin composition on a substrate such as a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) resin. However, in the case of using a negative film and when using a CTP technique, the composition on the photosensitive layer is different. First, in the case of using a negative film, a transparent image carrier layer for protecting the negative film exists due to the adhesion of the photosensitive layer, and the negative image is adhered to the transparent image carrier layer before use, and the negative image is used. The photosensitive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays on the film to remove the uncured portion, thereby forming a relief image. On the other hand, in the case of using the CTP technology, an infrared ablation layer is laminated on the photosensitive layer, and the infrared ablation layer is directly drawn by laser or the like, and then the photosensitive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to remove the unhardened portion, thereby forming A relief image. Recently, there has been a case where a relief image is formed by removing the unhardened portion (developing water) using a developing solution containing water as a main component. In addition, in a photosensitive resin printing original plate for flexographic printing which can be subjected to water-based development, a photosensitive layer containing a hydrophobic resin such as a hydrophilic copolymer or an elastomer is formed on a support for maintaining dimensional accuracy. A photosensitive resin composition obtained by mixing a polymerizable unsaturated monomer and a photopolymerization initiator. In order to faithfully obtain a desired image, it is preferred that the photosensitive resin composition used in such a photosensitive layer be finely and uniformly dispersed in the composition, and in order to shorten the plate making time, development is preferred. Faster. Further, in terms of having to withstand the use of the aqueous ink after the plate making and flushing the adhered ink with water, it is preferred that the water swelling rate after hardening is low, and of course, the printing durability is preferably high. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a photosensitive resin composition containing a water-dispersible latex, a photopolymerizable monomer, a rubber, and a photopolymerization initiator. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a photosensitive resin composition further containing a sulfonic acid-based surfactant and a rubber having a dispersed phase of a size of 10 μm or less. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a photosensitive resin composition obtained by emulsion polymerization using a reactive emulsifier containing an unsaturated double bond and internally crosslinked.

於本實施形態中,於藉由乳化聚合而合成親水性共聚物(A)之情形時,視需要亦可使用非反應性乳化劑。 此處,作為視需要而使用之非反應性乳化劑,例如可例示:脂肪酸皂、松脂酸皂、磺酸鹽、硫酸鹽、磷酸酯、多磷酸酯、肌胺酸醯基酯等陰離子界面活性劑;腈化油脂衍生物、油脂衍生物、脂肪酸衍生物、α-烯烴衍生物等陽離子界面活性劑;醇乙氧基化物、烷基苯酚乙氧基化物、丙氧基化物、脂肪族烷醇醯胺、烷基聚糖苷、聚氧乙烯山梨醇酐脂肪酸酯、氧乙烯氧丙烯嵌段共聚物等非離子界面活性劑。該等可單獨使用,亦可組合使用兩種以上。

相對於根據原料之添加量所計算之親水性共聚物(A)100質量份,非反應性乳化劑之使用量較佳為未達1質量份。若為未達1質量份之情形,則所獲得之印刷版可顯示出適當之水膨潤率,防止油墨附著時之耐磨耗性之降低及吸濕後之圖像再現性之降低。 作為親水性共聚物(A)之乳化聚合方法,通常於經調整為可進行聚合之溫度之反應系統中預先添加特定量之水、乳化劑、其他添加劑,於該系統中,藉由分次操作或連續操作將聚合起始劑及不飽和單體、乳化劑、調整劑等添加至反應系統內。又,視需要於反應系統中預先添加特定量之種乳膠、起始劑、不飽和單體、其他調整劑亦為通常經常使用之方法。 又,藉由設法向反應系統中添加不飽和單體、乳化劑、其他添加劑、調整劑之方法,亦可階段性地改變所合成之親水性共聚物粒子之層結構。 於該情形時,作為代表各層之結構之物性,可列舉:親水性、玻璃轉移點、分子量、交聯密度等。又,該層結構之階段數並無特別限制。 於本實施形態中,於親水性共聚物(A)之聚合中可使用已知之鏈轉移劑。舉例而言,作為含有硫元素之鏈轉移劑,可列舉:第三-十二烷基硫醇、正十二烷基硫醇等烷烴硫醇;巰基乙醇、巰基丙醇等硫代烷醇;硫代乙醇酸、硫代丙酸等硫代烷基羧酸;硫代乙醇酸辛酯、硫代丙酸辛酯等硫代羧酸烷基酯;二甲基硫醚、二乙基硫醚等硫醚。此外,作為鏈轉移劑之例,可列舉:異松油烯、二戊烯、第三萜品烯及四氯化碳等鹵化烴。該等之中,烷烴硫醇由於鏈轉移速度較大,又,所獲得之聚合物之物性平衡良好,故而較佳。 該等鏈轉移劑可單獨使用,亦可混合使用兩種以上。該等鏈轉移劑係混合至單體中而供給至反應系統中,或於特定之時期單獨添加特定量。相對於用於合成親水性共聚物(A)之不飽和單體總量,該等鏈轉移劑之使用量較佳為0.1~10質量%。若為該範圍以下,則存在進行感光性樹脂組合物之混合時之加工性劣化之情形,若為該範圍之以上,則存在明顯降低分子量之情形。 於本實施形態中,於親水性共聚物(A)之聚合中可視需要使用聚合反應抑制劑。 所謂聚合反應抑制劑,為藉由添加至乳化聚合系統中而降低自由基聚合速度之化合物。更具體而言,為聚合速度延遲劑、聚合禁止劑、自由基再開始反應性較低之鏈轉移劑、及自由基再開始反應性較低之單體。聚合反應抑制劑通常係用於調整聚合反應速度及調整乳膠物性。該等聚合反應抑制劑係藉由分次操作或連續操作而添加至反應系統中。於使用聚合反應抑制劑之情形時,乳膠覆膜之強度提高,耐印性提高。反應機制之詳細情況雖然尚不明確,但認為聚合反應抑制劑與聚合物之立體結構密切相關,由此推測於乳膠覆膜之物性之調整方面存在效果。 作為聚合反應抑制劑之例,可列舉:鄰、間、或對苯醌等醌類;硝基苯,鄰、間、或對二硝基苯等硝基化合物;二苯基胺般之胺類;第三丁基鄰苯二酚般之鄰苯二酚衍生物;1,1-二苯基乙烯或α-甲基苯乙烯、2,4-二苯基-4-甲基-1-戊烯等1,1-二取代乙烯系化合物;2,4-二苯基-4-甲基-2-戊烯、環己烯等1,2-二取代乙烯系化合物等。除此以外,亦可列舉:「POLYMER HANDBOOK 3rd Ed. (J. Brandup, E. H. Immergut : John Wiley & Sons, 1989)」、「修訂高分子合成之化學(大津:化學同人,1979.)」中作為聚合禁止劑或聚合抑制劑而記載之化合物。該等之中,就反應性之方面而言,尤佳為2,4-二苯基-4-甲基-1-戊烯(α-甲基苯乙烯二聚物)。該等聚合反應抑制劑可單獨使用,亦可混合使用兩種以上。 相對於親水性共聚物(A)之聚合中所使用之不飽和單體總量,該等聚合反應抑制劑之使用量較佳為10質量%以下。若為其以上,則存在明顯降低聚合速度之情形。 上述自由基聚合起始劑係於熱或還原性物質之存在下發生自由基分解而引發單體之加成聚合者,無機系起始劑及有機系起始劑均可使用。 作為此種自由基聚合起始劑,例如可列舉:水溶性或油溶性之過氧二硫酸鹽、過氧化物、偶氮雙化合物等,具體而言,有過氧二硫酸鉀、過氧二硫酸鈉、過氧二硫酸銨、過氧化氫、氫過氧化第三丁基、過氧化苯甲醯、2,2-偶氮雙丁腈、氫過氧化異丙苯等,又,此外可列舉POLYMER HANDBOOK (3rd edition)、J. Brandrup及E. H. Immergut著、John Willy & Sons刊(1989)中所記載之化合物。又,亦可採用將酸性亞硫酸鈉、抗壞血酸或其鹽、異抗壞血酸或其鹽、雕白粉等還原劑與聚合起始劑組合而使用之所謂氧化還原聚合法。該等之中,過氧二硫酸鹽尤其適宜作為聚合起始劑。關於該聚合起始劑之使用量,以所有不飽和單體之質量為基準,通常自0.1~5.0質量%之範圍內選擇,較佳為自0.2~3.0質量%之範圍內選擇。若為該範圍以下,則存在無法獲得親水性共聚物之合成時之穩定性之情形,若為該範圍以上,則存在感光性樹脂組合物之吸濕量增加之情形。 於本實施形態中,於親水性共聚物(A)之合成時,可視需要添加各種聚合調整劑。例如,作為pH值調整劑,可添加氫氧化鈉、氫氧化鉀、氫氧化銨、碳酸氫鈉、碳酸鈉、磷酸氫二鈉等pH值調整劑。又,亦可添加乙二胺四乙酸鈉等各種螯合劑等作為聚合調整劑。又,作為其他添加劑,亦可添加鹼感應性乳膠、六偏磷酸等減黏劑、聚乙烯醇、羧甲基纖維素等水溶性高分子、增黏劑、各種抗老化劑、紫外線吸收劑、防腐劑、殺菌劑、消泡劑、聚丙烯酸鈉等分散劑、耐水化劑、鋅白等金屬氧化物、異氰酸酯系化合物、環氧化合物等交聯劑、潤滑劑、保水劑等各種添加劑。該等添加劑之添加方法並無特別限制,無論在親水性共聚物之合成時、合成後均可添加。 於本實施形態中,於將親水性共聚物(A)乳化聚合之情形時之聚合溫度通常係於60~120℃之範圍內選擇,但藉由上述氧化還原聚合法等,亦可於更低之溫度下進行聚合。進而,作為氧化還原觸媒,亦可使金屬觸媒、例如二價鐵離子、三價鐵離子、銅離子等共存。 親水性共聚物(A)較佳為粒子狀,其平均粒徑較佳為500 nm以下,尤佳為100 nm以下。若平均粒徑過大,則存在所獲得之印刷原版之水系顯影性降低之情形。 又,親水性共聚物(A)之甲苯凝膠分率較佳為60~99%。若凝膠分率低於該範圍,則所獲得之印刷版之強度降低,若超過該範圍,則有親水性共聚物(A)與彈性體(B)之混合性明顯降低之傾向。 此處,所謂甲苯凝膠分率,係指將親水性共聚物(A)之約30質量%之分散液適量滴於鐵氟龍片材上,於130℃下乾燥30分鐘,取親水性共聚物(A)0.5 g,使其浸漬於25℃之甲苯30 ml中,使用振盪器振盪3小時後利用320SUS篩網進行過濾,將未通過部分於130℃下乾燥1小時後之質量除以0.5(g)而得之質量分率(%)。 於本實施形態中,所謂(B)彈性體,係於常溫(25℃)下顯示出橡膠彈性之彈性體,例如可列舉:熱塑性嵌段共聚物、聚丁二烯、聚丙烯腈-丁二烯、聚胺基甲酸酯系彈性體等。其中較佳為熱塑性嵌段共聚物。

具體而言,可列舉:苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物、或苯乙烯-異戊二烯-苯乙烯共聚物等。此處,於苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物或苯乙烯-異戊二烯-苯乙烯共聚物中,亦可混合苯乙烯-丁二烯共聚物或苯乙烯-異戊二烯共聚物等二嵌段物。又,亦可為使苯乙烯及丁二烯或異戊二烯於苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物或苯乙烯-異戊二烯-苯乙烯共聚物中之丁二烯部或異戊二烯部上進行無規共聚合而成者。 此處,關於彈性體(B)中之單乙烯基取代芳香族烴單元之含量,於包含一定量之情形時,抑制感光性樹脂組合物之冷流而獲得良好之厚度精度,又,於為一定量以下之情形時,抑制柔版印刷版之硬度而獲得良好之印刷品質,較佳為在8~50質量%之範圍內。 彈性體(B)之共軛二烯片段中之乙烯基鍵結單元雖然有助於提高凸紋之再現性,但同時亦會導致柔版印刷版表面之黏著性提高。就取得該兩特性之平衡之觀點而言,乙烯基鍵結單元之平均比率較佳為5~40莫耳%,作為進而較佳之範圍,為10~35莫耳%。 再者,單乙烯基取代芳香族烴單元及共軛二烯單元之平均含量、或彈性體(B)之共軛二烯片段中之乙烯基鍵結單元之平均比率可藉由IR(Infrared Radiation,紅外線輻射)光譜或NMR(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance,核磁共振)而求出。 相對於親水性共聚物(A)100質量份,彈性體(B)之量較佳為30質量份以上且未達250質量份。更佳為30質量份以上且未達200質量份。進而較佳為50質量份以上且未達170質量份。 若未達30質量份,則有耐印性降低、或具有極性之油墨之膨潤率增加之傾向,又,若為250質量份以上,則有於水系顯影液中之顯影性降低之傾向。 作為本實施形態中所使用之(C)聚合性不飽和單體,可列舉:丙烯酸、甲基丙烯酸、反丁烯二酸及順丁烯二酸等之羧酸酯類,丙烯醯胺或甲基丙烯醯胺之衍生物,烯丙酯,苯乙烯及其衍生物,N取代順丁烯二醯亞胺化合物。

又,作為本實施形態中所可使用之化合物(E)之具有聚伸烷基二醇鏈之(甲基)丙烯酸酯單體,作為具有聚伸烷基二醇之單體,可列舉:以2以上且20以下之範圍包含乙二醇鏈之聚乙二醇單(丙烯酸酯)、聚乙二醇二(甲基)丙烯酸酯,以2以上且20以下之範圍包含丙二醇鏈之聚乙二醇單(甲基)丙烯酸酯、聚丙二醇二(甲基)丙烯酸酯,分別以2至20之範圍包含聚乙二醇鏈及/或聚丙二醇鏈之聚乙二醇聚丙二醇二(甲基)丙烯酸酯、甲苯基聚乙二醇(甲基)丙烯酸酯、壬基苯氧基聚乙二醇(甲基)丙烯酸酯等。 化合物(E)之界面活性劑或具有聚伸烷基二醇鏈之(甲基)丙烯酸酯單體可單獨使用,亦可組合兩種以上。 該等上述化合物(E)之中,較佳為非離子性界面活性劑、非離子性反應性界面活性劑、具有聚伸烷基二醇鏈之(甲基)丙烯酸酯單體。 相對於親水性共聚物(A)100質量份,化合物(E)之含量較佳為0.1質量份以上且未達15質量份。更佳為0.5質量份以上且未達10質量份。於未達0.1質量份之情形時,有於水系顯影液中之顯影性降低之傾向,於15質量份以上之情形時,有所獲得之樹脂組合物之霧度變高,或顯影後之乾燥時間延長,或對於水系油墨之耐溶劑性降低之傾向。 於本實施形態中,感光性樹脂組合物可進而含有塑化劑成分(F)。 作為塑化劑成分(F),可列舉:環烷油、烷烴油等烴油,液狀聚丁二烯、液狀聚異戊二烯、液狀聚丁二烯之末端改性物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物之羧酸改性物、液狀苯乙烯-丁二烯共聚物、數量平均分子量2,000以下之聚苯乙烯、癸二酸酯、鄰苯二甲酸酯、羧酸改性丙烯酸系聚合物等。 其中,較佳為液狀聚丁二烯、經OH基或羧基等進行改性而成之液狀聚丁二烯之末端改性物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物之羧酸改性物、液狀苯乙烯-丁二烯共聚物、羧酸改性丙烯酸系聚合物。 若使用液狀聚丁二烯、液狀聚丁二烯之末端改性物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物、液狀丙烯腈-丁二烯共聚物之羧酸改性物、液狀苯乙烯-丁二烯共聚物、羧酸改性丙烯酸系聚合物作為塑化劑成分(F),則提高混練成型性及顯影性,並且塑化劑成分(F)容易混合至彈性體(B)中,藉此耐印性提高,故而較佳。 作為塑化劑成分(F)相對於親水性共聚物(A)100質量份之量,較佳為1質量份以上且未達250質量份,更佳為10質量份以上且未達220質量份,進而較佳為20質量以上且未達200質量份。於未達1質量份之情形時,有成型後之硬化收縮增大之傾向,於250質量份以上之情形時,有冷流性變差之傾向。 除此以外,於本實施形態之柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物中,除了可添加上述必需或任意成分以外,可進而視需要而添加各種輔助添加成分、例如熱聚合防止劑、紫外線吸收劑、防暈光劑、光穩定劑等。 於本實施形態中,柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物較佳為具有包含親水性共聚物(A)之相自其他相分離之結構,具體而言,至少其一部分採取如下結構,即,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相為島且其他相為海般之所謂海島結構。 於本實施形態中,於對柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之硬化物之剖面進行觀察時,於該樹脂組合物之硬化物之剖面中,包含上述親水性共聚物(A)之相所占之比率(面積率)SA 為15%以上且未達60%,且於包含上述親水性共聚物(A)之相之中,相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 者之比率成為20(面積%)以上。 尤其於對感光性樹脂組合物之硬化物之30 μm見方之剖面進行觀察時,較佳為於該30 μm見方之剖面中,包含上述親水性共聚物(A)之相所占之比率SA 為15%以上且未達60%,於包含上述親水性共聚物(A)之相之中,相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 者之比率為20(面積%)以上。 感光性樹脂組合物中之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之分散狀態可藉由切出感光性樹脂組合物之硬化物之薄膜切片,並對其進行觀察而確認。 再者,關於感光性樹脂組合物中之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之中相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 者之比率,於未硬化物、硬化物中均無變化,亦可對未硬化物之剖面以與硬化物之剖面相同之方式進行觀察,但由於未硬化物存在液狀之未硬化物滲出之情形,故而較佳為觀測硬化物之剖面。 觀察方法並無限定,例如可藉由穿透式顯微鏡(TEM)觀察、利用氧化鋨或磷鎢等進行薄膜切片染色後之掃描式顯微鏡(SEM)觀察、或利用原子力顯微鏡(AFM)之掃描探針顯微鏡(SPM)之相位模式等進行之觀察等而進行觀察。其中,利用原子力顯微鏡(AFM)之掃描探針顯微鏡(SPM)之相位模式等進行之測定無需試樣之染色等,僅藉由自樹脂組合物中切出薄膜切片便可簡易地進行測定,而且藉由各相之硬度之相對比較而可容易地將包含親水性共聚物(A)之相與其他相分離,故而較佳。SPM測定係於硬化前之樹脂組合物及硬化後之樹脂組合物兩者中均可進行,但存在因硬化過程之聚合性不飽和單體(C)之聚合而各相之相對硬度發生逆轉之情形。於本實施形態之樹脂組合物中,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相於硬化前之樹脂組合物中較其他相柔軟,於硬化後之樹脂組合物中逆轉為較其他相硬之相。 具體而言,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相所占之比率(面積率)SA 、或於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相中之相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 者之比率能夠以如下方式求出。 藉由上述利用原子力顯微鏡之SPM相位模式進行之觀察而獲得30 μm見方(30 μm square)之圖像。根據所獲得之圖像,根據表示相對之硬度資訊之相位差進行圖像處理(二值化),將包含親水性共聚物(A)之相及其他相(包含彈性體(B)之相)分離,對包含親水性共聚物(A)之各相求出面積,根據其合計(包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之總面積)而求出包含親水性共聚物(A)之相於樹脂組合物之硬化物之剖面中所占之比率SA (面積%)。(具體而言,求出上述總面積相對於觀察面積(900 μm2 )之面積率) 又,根據包含親水性共聚物(A)之各相之面積而製作直方圖(例如將0 μm2 作為起始值之1 μm2 刻度之直方圖)。根據該直方圖,可求出相面積為3 μm2 以上且100 μm2 以下之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之面積和相對於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之總面積的比率(%)。 於本實施形態中,於柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之硬化物或未硬化物之剖面中,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相所占之比率(面積率)SA 為15%以上且未達60%,更佳為25%以上且55%以下,進而較佳為25%以上且50%以下。 於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之比率SA 未達15%之情形時,有於水系顯影液中之顯影速度變慢之傾向,於60%以上之情形時,有耐印性降低之傾向。 於本實施形態中,根據藉由上述方法進行之測定與圖像處理而獲得之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之中相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 者之比率為20(面積%)以上,較佳為30(面積%)以上,更佳為40(面積%)以上,進而較佳為50(面積%)以上。 根據本發明者等人之研究判明,藉由包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之中,相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 之相所占之比率在上述範圍內,包含親水性共聚物(A)與彈性體(B)之相充分混合,藉此可於將耐印性或版特性保持為較高之狀態下,提高於水系顯影液中之顯影性。 可認為,若相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 之相所占之比率較高,則可提高於水系顯影液中之顯影性之原因在於:若包含親水性共聚物(A)之相較小,則可成為顯影之起始點之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相與其他相之界面增加。然而,即便包含親水性共聚物(A)之相過小,顯影性亦降低。其原因雖然尚不明確,但認為其一個原因為,若包含親水性共聚物(A)之相過小,則於水系顯影液中利用毛刷等機械構件削除時,成為毛刷等之起點之部分較小,結果顯影性降低。 另一方面推測,於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相過大之情形時,雖然容易利用毛刷等削除,但於製成印刷版時,耐磨耗性較其他相差之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相增大,由此容易引起印刷版之磨耗或缺損,結果耐印性會降低。 然而,本發明之效果之機理並不限定於該等推定。 於本實施形態中,較佳為於樹脂組合物之硬化物之剖面中包含親水性聚合物(A)之相所占之比率SA (面積%)、與上述樹脂組合物中之親水性共聚物(A)之質量比率WA (質量%)之比SA /WA 為1.35以上。 樹脂組合物中之親水性共聚物(A)之質量比率WA 表示親水性共聚物(A) 之質量相對於樹脂組合物之質量的比率(質量%)。SA /WA 較佳為1.35以上,更佳為1.40以上,進而較佳為1.50以上。於SA /WA 為1.35以上時,可提高於水系顯影液中之顯影性。 於本實施形態中,聚合性不飽和單體(C)較佳為包含於柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之包含親水性共聚物(A)之相中。由於親水性共聚物(A)為聚合物粒子,故而若聚合性不飽和單體(C)係包含於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相中,則聚合性不飽和單體(C)將親水性共聚物(A)之聚合物粒子彼此連接,藉此可提高製版後之版之耐印性。 再者,於包含親水性共聚物(A)之相中含有聚合性不飽和單體(C)係由以下情況而確認:於藉由SPM之相位模式進行之測定中,於未硬化時,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相較包含彈性體(B)之相柔軟,且於光硬化後,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相係以較包含彈性體(B)之相硬 之相之形式而被觀察到。 於本實施形態中,對柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之製造方法並無限定。 於親水性共聚物(A)係以水分散液(乳膠)之形態而獲得之情形時,較佳為藉由各種方法去除水後使用。例如,於使用硫酸鹽、硝酸鹽、鹽酸鹽、碳酸鹽、羧酸鹽等凝聚劑使親水性共聚物(A)凝固後,藉由離心分離等脫水步驟自含親水性共聚物(A)之水分散液中去除某程度之水,其後,可視需要與塑化劑成分(F)、界面活性劑等化合物(E)、穩定劑等混合後進行乾燥,亦可視需要與塑化劑成分(F)、界面活性劑等化合物(E)、穩定劑等混合後,藉由蒸餾等自含親水性共聚物(A)之水分散液中去除水。 若於含親水性共聚物(A)之水分散液中,與塑化劑成分(F)、界面活性劑等化合物(E)及穩定劑等化合物混合後藉由蒸餾等去除水,則可使塑化劑成分(F)、界面活性劑等化合物(E)及穩定劑等均勻地分散於親水性共聚物(A)中,於製成印刷版時之圖像形成時不會產生物性差,故而較佳。 作為藉由蒸餾等去除水之方法,可使用捏合機、圓錐螺旋混合機、螺帶式混合機等批次式乾燥機,亦可使用脫揮擠出機、薄膜蒸餾機、CD乾燥器、KRC捏合機、SC處理機等連續式乾燥機。 以上述方式獲得親水性共聚物(A)、或親水性共聚物(A)與視需要添加之塑化劑成分(F)、界面活性劑等化合物(E)、及穩定劑等之至少1種以上之混合物之乾燥物後,與彈性體(B)、聚合性不飽和單體(C)或光聚合起始劑(D)一併使用擠出機、班布里攪拌機、捏合機等各種公知之混練裝置進行混練,藉此可製備感光性樹脂組合物。 於本實施形態中,為了將於柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物之硬化物或未硬化物之剖面中,包含親水性共聚物(A)之相中之相面積為3 μm2 以上且未達100 μm2 之相所占的比率設為20(面積%)以上,例如較佳為於樹脂組合物混練時,於使用擠出機之情形時控制螺桿樣式或螺桿轉速,於使用批次式混練機之情形時控制轉速或混練時間等,而調整混練狀態,或向親水性共聚物(A)中預先添加化合物(E)或塑化劑成分(F)後與其他成分混合,或進而於以水分散液之形態供給親水性共聚物(A)之情形時,控制殘留於親水性共聚物(A)中之水分之量,藉此控制包含親水性共聚物(A)之相之分散狀態。 於本實施形態中,尤佳為藉由依序包括以下所記載之步驟1~3之方法而獲得柔版印刷用感光性樹脂組合物。 1.於含親水性共聚物(A)之水分散液中,添加選自由界面活性劑及具有聚伸烷基二醇鏈之(甲基)丙烯酸酯單體所組成之群中之至少1種化合物(E)及/或塑化劑成分(F)之步驟; 2.自上述含親水性共聚物(A)之水分散液中去除水之步驟;及 3.於步驟2中所獲得之包含親水性共聚物(A)之混合物中,添加彈性體(B)、聚合性不飽和單體(C)、及光聚合起始劑(D),並進行混練之步驟。 於本實施形態中,柔版印刷原版至少包含本實施形態之感光性樹脂組合物、或具有含有感光性樹脂組合物之感光層。感光層例如可藉由如下方法而形成:藉由熱壓成型或壓延處理或擠出成型等將感光性樹脂組合物成形為所需厚度之層。 柔版印刷原版為了維持作為印刷版之精度,亦可製成於聚酯等支持體上設有感光層之積層體。 又,亦可於感光層之與支持體為相反之面上,設置用以對感光層直接進行描繪之紅外線剝蝕層、或用以使與負像膜之接觸性變得良好及用以可進行負像膜之再利用的可進行水系顯影之可撓性膜層(亦稱為透明圖像載體層、防黏著層)。 支持體或紅外線剝蝕層、可撓性膜層例如可於將感光層成型為片狀後,藉由輥層壓而密接於感光層。於層壓後,亦可進而進行加熱壓製,提高感光層之表面精度。 於本實施形態中,作為用以使柔版印刷原版之感光層進行光硬化(進行潛像形成)之活性光線源,例如可列舉:低壓水銀燈、高壓水銀燈、紫外線螢光燈、碳弧燈、氙氣燈、鋯燈、太陽光等。 於本實施形態中,通過描繪後之紅外線剝蝕層或透明圖像載體對感光層進行光照射而形成潛像後,使用水系顯影液將未照射部分去除(顯影),藉此可獲得凸紋(印刷版)。 水系顯影液為以水作為主成分之顯影液,可為水本身,或例如亦可為於水中調配非離子性、陰離子性等之界面活性劑及視需要之pH值調整劑、洗淨促進劑等而成者。 作為非離子性界面活性劑之具體例,可列舉:聚氧伸烷基烷基或烯基醚、聚氧伸烷基烷基或烯基苯醚、聚氧伸烷基烷基或烯基胺、聚氧伸烷基烷基或烯基醯胺、環氧乙烷/環氧丙烷嵌段加成物等。 作為陰離子性界面活性劑之具體例,可列舉:具有平均碳數8~16之烷基之直鏈烷基苯磺酸鹽、平均碳數10~20之α-烯烴磺酸鹽、烷基或烯基之碳數為4~10之二烷基磺基琥珀酸鹽、脂肪酸低級烷基酯之磺酸鹽、平均碳數10~20之烷基硫酸鹽、具有平均碳數10~20之直鏈或分支鏈之烷基或者烯基且加成有平均0.5~8莫耳之環氧乙烷之烷基醚硫酸鹽、平均碳數10~22之飽和或不飽和脂肪酸鹽等。 又,作為pH值調整劑,有硼酸鈉、碳酸鈉、矽酸鈉、偏矽酸鈉、琥珀酸鈉、乙酸鈉等。就容易溶解於水中之方面而言,較佳為矽酸鈉。 進而,於顯影液中亦可添加洗淨助劑。所謂洗淨助劑,係藉由與上述界面活性劑、pH值調整劑併用而提高顯影液之洗淨(顯影)能力者。作為具體例,可列舉:單乙醇胺、二乙醇胺、三乙醇胺等胺類,氫氧化四甲基銨等銨鹽類,鏈烷系烴等。 該等例如可於顯影液中以0.1~50質量%、較佳為1~10質量%之範圍添加混合而使用。 於顯影時,可輔助地利用超音波等對印刷原版施加振動,或使用毛刷等機械構件摩擦印刷原版之表面。 顯影後之印刷版較佳為於烘箱中例如於50℃下進行15~120分鐘乾燥。 包含本實施形態之感光性樹脂組合物之感光層根據其組成而存在乾燥結束後亦於版表面殘留黏連感之情形。於該情形時,可藉由公知之表面處理方法去除黏連感。作為此種表面處理方法,較理想為利用波長300 nm以下之活性光線進行之曝光處理。 [實施例] 以下藉由實施例具體地說明本發明,但本發明並不受該等之限定。

The unit derived from the hydrophilic unsaturated monomer can be set, for example, to 0. 1 to 20% by mass, or 0. 5 to 15% by mass, and may be 1 to 10% by mass. Examples of such a polymer particle include polymer particles obtained by emulsion polymerization using a hydrophilic unsaturated monomer and, if necessary, another monomer copolymerizable therewith, as a dispersoid dispersed in water. The obtained water-dispersed latex was obtained by removing water.

Here, examples of the non-reactive emulsifier used as needed include anionic interfacial activity such as fatty acid soap, rosin acid soap, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, polyphosphate, and cresyl sarcosyl ester. a cationic surfactant such as a nitrile oil derivative, a fat or oil derivative, a fatty acid derivative or an α-olefin derivative; an alcohol ethoxylate, an alkylphenol ethoxylate, a propoxylate, an aliphatic alkanol A nonionic surfactant such as a guanamine, an alkyl polyglycoside, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, or an oxyethylene oxypropylene block copolymer. These may be used singly or in combination of two or more. Examples of the sulfonate include an alkyl sulfonate, an alkyl sulfate, an alkyl sulfosuccinate, a polyoxyethylene alkyl sulfate, a sulfonated fat, an alkyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, and α. An olefin sulfonate, an alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate, an N-mercaptomethyl taurate or the like. Other examples of such surfactants include those described in the "Interactivator Handbook (Takabashi, Namba, Koike, Kobayashi: Engineering Books, 1972)". The non-reactive emulsifier is preferably used in an amount of less than 1 part by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) calculated based on the amount of the raw material added. In the case of less than 1 part by mass, the obtained printing plate can exhibit an appropriate water swelling ratio, preventing a decrease in abrasion resistance upon adhesion of the ink and a decrease in image reproducibility after moisture absorption. As the emulsion polymerization method of the hydrophilic copolymer (A), a specific amount of water, an emulsifier, and other additives are usually added in advance to a reaction system adjusted to a temperature at which polymerization can be carried out, and in the system, by fractional operation Or a continuous operation, a polymerization initiator, an unsaturated monomer, an emulsifier, a regulator, etc. are added to the reaction system. Further, it is also a method which is usually used frequently in advance to add a specific amount of a latex, an initiator, an unsaturated monomer, and other modifiers to the reaction system as needed. Further, by attempting to add an unsaturated monomer, an emulsifier, other additives, and a modifier to the reaction system, the layer structure of the synthesized hydrophilic copolymer particles can be changed stepwise. In this case, the physical properties of the structure representing each layer include hydrophilicity, glass transition point, molecular weight, crosslinking density, and the like. Further, the number of stages of the layer structure is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, a known chain transfer agent can be used for the polymerization of the hydrophilic copolymer (A). For example, examples of the chain transfer agent containing a sulfur element include an alkanethiol such as a tert-dodecyl mercaptan or n-dodecyl mercaptan; a thioalkanol such as mercaptoethanol or mercaptopropanol; a thioalkyl carboxylic acid such as thioglycolic acid or thiopropionic acid; an alkyl thiocarboxylate such as octyl thioglycolate or octyl thiopropionate; sulfur such as dimethyl sulfide or diethyl sulfide; ether. Further, examples of the chain transfer agent include halogenated hydrocarbons such as terpinene, dipentene, triterpene, and carbon tetrachloride. Among these, the alkanethiol is preferable because the chain transfer rate is large and the physical properties of the obtained polymer are good. These chain transfer agents may be used singly or in combination of two or more. The chain transfer agents are mixed into the monomer to be supplied to the reaction system, or a specific amount is separately added at a specific time. The amount of the chain transfer agent is preferably 0. The total amount of the chain transfer agent used is 0. 1 to 10% by mass. When it is less than this range, the workability at the time of mixing of the photosensitive resin composition may be deteriorated, and if it is more than this range, the molecular weight may be remarkably lowered. In the present embodiment, a polymerization inhibitor may be used as needed in the polymerization of the hydrophilic copolymer (A). The polymerization inhibitor is a compound which reduces the radical polymerization rate by being added to an emulsion polymerization system. More specifically, it is a polymerization rate retarder, a polymerization inhibiting agent, a chain transfer agent having a low radical reactivation reactivity, and a monomer having a low radical reactivation reactivity. The polymerization inhibitor is usually used to adjust the polymerization rate and adjust the latex properties. The polymerization inhibitors are added to the reaction system by a fractional operation or a continuous operation. In the case where a polymerization inhibitor is used, the strength of the latex film is improved, and the printing durability is improved. Although the details of the reaction mechanism are not clear, it is considered that the polymerization inhibitor is closely related to the three-dimensional structure of the polymer, and thus it is presumed that there is an effect in adjusting the physical properties of the latex film. Examples of the polymerization inhibitor include hydrazines such as o-, m- or p-benzoquinone; nitrobenzenes, nitro compounds such as o-, m- or p-dinitrobenzene; and diphenylamine-like amines. a butyl catechol-like catechol derivative; 1,1-diphenylethylene or α-methylstyrene, 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentyl a 1,1-disubstituted vinyl compound such as an alkene; a 1,2-disubstituted vinyl compound such as 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-2-pentene or cyclohexene; and the like.

Among these, 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene (α-methylstyrene dimer) is particularly preferable in terms of reactivity. These polymerization inhibitors may be used singly or in combination of two or more. The amount of the polymerization inhibitor to be used is preferably 10% by mass or less based on the total amount of the unsaturated monomers used in the polymerization of the hydrophilic copolymer (A). If it is more than this, there is a case where the polymerization rate is remarkably lowered. The radical polymerization initiator is one which undergoes radical decomposition in the presence of a heat or a reducing substance to initiate addition polymerization of a monomer, and both an inorganic initiator and an organic initiator can be used.

In particular, when the cross section of the 30 μm square of the cured product of the photosensitive resin composition is observed, it is preferable that the ratio of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) in the 30 μm square cross section is S. A 15% or more and less than 60%, in the phase containing the above hydrophilic copolymer (A), the phase area is 3 μm 2 Above and less than 100 μm 2 The ratio of the person is 20 (area%) or more. The state of dispersion of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) in the photosensitive resin composition can be confirmed by cutting a film of a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition and observing it.

The observation method is not limited, and for example, it can be observed by a transmission microscope (TEM), scanning microscopy (SEM) observation by thin film sectioning using yttrium oxide or tungsten tungsten, or scanning by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Observation was carried out by observation of a phase pattern of a needle microscope (SPM) or the like. In addition, measurement by a phase pattern of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) of an atomic force microscope (AFM) does not require dyeing of a sample, and the measurement can be easily performed only by cutting a film slice from the resin composition, and It is preferred that the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) can be easily separated from the other phases by the relative comparison of the hardness of the respective phases. The SPM measurement can be carried out in both the resin composition before curing and the resin composition after hardening, but there is a reversal of the relative hardness of each phase due to polymerization of the polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) in the hardening process. situation. In the resin composition of the present embodiment, the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is softer than the other phases in the resin composition before curing, and is reversed to a phase harder than the other phases in the resin composition after curing. Specifically, the ratio (area ratio) of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) S A Or the phase area in the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is 3 μm 2 Above and less than 100 μm 2 The ratio of the person can be obtained as follows. An image of 30 μm square (30 μm square) was obtained by the above observation using the SPM phase mode of the atomic force microscope. According to the obtained image, the image processing (binarization) is performed based on the phase difference indicating the relative hardness information, and the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) and the other phase (the phase containing the elastomer (B)) are included. Separating, determining the area of each phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A), and determining the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) based on the total (the total area of the phase including the hydrophilic copolymer (A)) Ratio of the cross section of the cured product of the resin composition S A (area%). (Specifically, the above total area is determined relative to the observation area (900 μm) 2 Area ratio) Further, a histogram is prepared based on the area of each phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) (for example, 0 μm) 2 1 μm as the starting value 2 Histogram of the scale). According to the histogram, the phase area can be found to be 3 μm. 2 Above and 100 μm 2 The ratio of the area of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) to the total area of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) (%). In the cross section of the cured product or the uncured material of the photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing, the ratio of the phase of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) (area ratio) is S. A It is 15% or more and less than 60%, more preferably 25% or more and 55% or less, further preferably 25% or more and 50% or less. Ratio S of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) A When it is less than 15%, the development speed in the aqueous developing solution tends to be slow, and in the case of 60% or more, the printing durability tends to be lowered. In the present embodiment, the phase area of the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) obtained by the measurement and image processing by the above method is 3 μm. 2 Above and less than 100 μm 2 The ratio is 20 (area%) or more, preferably 30 (area%) or more, more preferably 40 (area%) or more, and still more preferably 50 (area%) or more. According to the study by the inventors of the present invention, it was found that the phase area was 3 μm among the phases containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A). 2 Above and less than 100 μm 2 The ratio of the phase is within the above range, and the hydrophilic copolymer (A) and the elastomer (B) are sufficiently mixed, whereby the printing durability or the plate property can be maintained at a high level. Developability in aqueous developer. It can be considered that if the phase area is 3 μm 2 Above and less than 100 μm 2 When the ratio of the phase is high, the developability in the aqueous developing solution is increased because if the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is small, the hydrophilicity of the starting point of development can be obtained. The interface between the phase of the copolymer (A) and the other phases increases. However, even if the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is too small, the developability is lowered. The reason for this is not clear, but it is considered that if the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is too small, it is a part of the starting point of the brush or the like when it is removed by a mechanical member such as a brush in the aqueous developing solution. Smaller, the developability is lowered. On the other hand, when the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is too large, it is easy to remove by a brush or the like, but when it is made into a printing plate, the hydrophilic copolymer is inferior in abrasion resistance. The phase of (A) is increased, thereby easily causing wear or loss of the printing plate, and as a result, print durability is lowered. However, the mechanism of the effects of the present invention is not limited to the above assumptions. In the present embodiment, the ratio of the phase containing the hydrophilic polymer (A) in the cross section of the cured product of the resin composition is preferably S. A (area%), mass ratio to the hydrophilic copolymer (A) in the above resin composition W A (% by mass) ratio S A /W A It is 1.35 or more. The mass ratio of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) in the resin composition W A The ratio (% by mass) of the mass of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) to the mass of the resin composition is shown. S A /W A It is preferably 1.35 or more, more preferably 1.40 or more, still more preferably 1.50 or more. On S A /W A When it is 1.35 or more, the developability in an aqueous developing solution can be improved. In the present embodiment, the polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) is preferably contained in the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) in the photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing. Since the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is a polymer particle, if the polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) is contained in the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A), the polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) will The polymer particles of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) are connected to each other, whereby the printing durability of the plate after the plate making can be improved. Further, the case where the polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) is contained in the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is confirmed by the fact that in the measurement by the phase mode of SPM, when it is not cured, it is contained. The phase of the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is softer than the phase containing the elastomer (B), and after photohardening, the phase containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is more rigid than the phase containing the elastomer (B) It was observed in the form. In the present embodiment, the method for producing the photosensitive resin composition for flexographic printing is not limited. In the case where the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is obtained in the form of an aqueous dispersion (latex), it is preferred to use water by various methods and then use it. For example, after the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is solidified by using a coagulant such as a sulfate, a nitrate, a hydrochloride, a carbonate or a carboxylate, the hydrophilic copolymer (A) is self-hydrolyzed by a dehydration step such as centrifugation. The water dispersion is removed to a certain extent, and then mixed with the plasticizer component (F), the surfactant (E), a stabilizer, etc., and then dried, and may be mixed with the plasticizer component as needed. (F), a compound (E) such as a surfactant, a stabilizer, and the like are mixed, and then water is removed from the aqueous dispersion containing the hydrophilic copolymer (A) by distillation or the like.
